SUICIDE OF A MINISTER.

He Had Preached the Doctrine of Per-
lection and Thought He was Sinless.
From the Washington Star.
The Rev. Renry Clemmens, Free Will
Methodist preacher in Holmes county, Ohio,
committed suicide last Friday night under
very peculiar circumstances. He, for a
long time preached the doctrine of perfec-
ton, and asserted that he was sanctifed, and
therefore sinless in the sight of God. Among
his converts was Miss Kate Uhl, who, not
long ago, became his wife, and labored with
him in his evangelical work. A few days
ago it was noticed that his mind was becom-
ing unsettled, and a physician was called in.
To the doctor Clemmens asserted that in his
last sermon he had placed the standard of
religion too high for the people. that they
could never attain it, and that consequent
ly he had lied to them and had displeased
God. The physician prescribed perfect
quiet and rest, and gave the clergyman
some nervines Friday night he arose
from his bed, took a loaded shotgun that
stood in corner of the room, placed the
muzze of the gun in his mouth, and dis
charged the weapon. His wife was awak-
ened by the report, and lighting a lamp,
found the body of her husband on the floor.

MISS LIZZIE BUDD's MARRIAGE.
A Long Branch Beauty Makes a Very
Strange Marriage.
From the PHILADELPHIA Press.

From the PHILADELPHIA Press.
LONG BRANCH, Oct. Am announce
ment which has shocked the good families of
this neighborhood, is that last week Miss
Lizzie Budd was married by Justice Ed
wards TO Jesse Cramer. Miss Budd has the
reputation of being the prettiest girl in the
county. Her father is prominent official
of the New Jersey Southern railroad, and
has bestowed upon her a most liberal educa-
ton. He is in more than comfortable cir
cumstances, and she has been prominent not
only in the social circles of the permanent
residents, but also i'll the entertainments at
the hotels in summer. Last season she was
said to be the most daring ami graceful
woman rider on the Bluff, and her fondness
for athletic exercise has given her a robust
and beautiful figure. Last August, in com
pany with party of young ladita from
West Philadelphia, she drove out into THE
Pines In this wilderness, amid settle
ment of squalid negroes, Cramer keeps a
small grocery store.
Miss Budd is said to have formed an at
tachment for this man. 1t is alleged that
several clandestine meetings followed, re-
Sulting in the marriage last week. Cramer
is AZ years old, and is said to be illiterate
His wife accompanied him to his home inn
mediately after the wedding, and thereby
the correspondent of the Press saw her to-
day. Her surroundings are repulsive in the
extreme, but she declared that she would
not leave her husband. No other white
people live within five miles, and most of
the negro settlers are the most miserable
and wretched people in this section of the
State. As the girl is of legal age her
parents can exercise no compulsion over
her. and she is deaf to their entreaties to re-
turn home.

senger train coming north pulled out of
Martin, Tenn, the conductor discovered a
negro on the rear platform. After paying
his fare he asked for change for bill, ex-
tending at tue instant a $50 greenback
selected from a large roll of money which
he took from his inside pocket. Upon being
asked the denomination of the bill he
wished changed he promptly replied S. His
ignorance of the size of the BILL and the pos
session of what appeared to be several hun
dred dollars, excited the suspicious of the
conductor, who communicated with a COM
mercial traveller. The latter approached
the negro, and with threats forced him to
confess that he had robbed a store down the
road, but declined to say where He offered
to give up the money, but asked that he be
allowed to find the conductor and recover
the $50 bill. He then dashed through the
cars and jumped from the rear platform,
while the train was going twenty-five miles
an hour, near McConnells station, SIX miles
below Fulton, taking the money along. He
was seen to turn end over end down the

sight which greeted the people at Q O'clock
tonight on the corner of Woodward avenue

happened to be a man with tlre-alarm box
key, and he called the department. Three
ladders were erected in mid-air, and all fell
short of reaching the dead man, but finally
he was got down on the Hayes extension
ladder and carried into neighboring drug
store. He had been dead some time, and
through his body, during the time he hung
on the wires, there had passed the electric
current of the entire Brush system, which
had made his limbs move as if convulsivey.
The man was found to be Iineman Hiram
CorlisS. Nobody knows how long he had
hung in the wires when discovered An
immense crowd gathered to watch the efforts
to secure the body, an operation attended
with great danger, because the electric cur
rent was still on. Corliss, in repairing or
looking for leak, had made fatal find.

MISS SARAH JEwETTs ILLNESS.
1t Was Caused by Dangerous Drug

1t Was Caused by Dangerous Drug
Prescribed by an English Physician.
BOsToN, Oct. 5.-The Trdreier prints the
following by authority: "The sad facts re
garding the illness of Miss Sarah Jewett
were made public in the papers yesterday,
but before pronouncing any Judgment on
the beautiful and talented woman, whose
professional career has been so disastrously
interrupted, let the truth be stated and the
blame be accredited where it is due. Some
seven years ago Miss Jewett went to
England in the summer, after
peculiarly arduous season of pro
fesslonal achievements and triumphS
which had greatly overtaxed her energies.
She was suffering from insomnia and ner-
vous exhaustion, and consulted an English
physician. He prescribed for her sleeping
potion which was composed of orange
flower water and choral. There was the
beginning of Sara Jewett's i'll health and i'll
fortune and until medical science is 50 far
advanced that physicians are too intelligent
an too moral to prescribe the most appall-
ing and dangerous of drugs, until we see
that day let us hold in charity the mistake
OF young, inexperienced woman, ambi-
tious In her art, and who gained such
swift relief from following the
advice of physician eminent and hOnore1
in his profession. There lies the blame-the
crime, for it can he called nothing else
that has ended in such overwhelming dis
aster for an artist whose future outlook
was among the fairest on the stage. Miss
Jewett came of a refined family; her social
sphere is Of the highest. She was an
especial favorite and almost n protege of
the poet Longfellow. She has beauty, ex-
quisite culture and refinement, grace and a
winning sweetness that gives to her presence
a never failing charm. This insdious habit,
first acquired by the professional counsel Of
an eminent medical practitioner, fastened
itself deeper and deeper upon her until the
sad and inevitable result is reached

The reason the Rebels called Rosser "the

himself. But it took some lively running to
do it.
Our police thought the show too closely
watched to stick any victims. We saw man
in Cincinnati steal a poHceman's mace from
him once.
Gov. Hoadly, in New York, is opposing the
Bible in the Schools. 1t seems the Bible is
giving the old man lots of trouble-but it will
be worse by-and-by.
The newspapers laughed John w. Hyatt to
scorn because he presumed to seek to be Treas
urer of the United States. Now John is holding
his sides-ard the Office, too.
The health officials of New York dumped out

Our good friend Halstead, of the
Commercial Gazette, publishes the
testimony of some fourteen or fifteen
Mayors of towns having adopted the
local option feature of the Dow Law,
as showing the better condition of
things under the new method, then
goes on to remark
TT may be remembered that there
were good people who thought it a
terrible sin on our part that we urged
the late General Assembly of Ohio
first to enact the Dow Law, and sec
ond to let it alone. And there are
one-horse politicians scattered about
the State, affecting to be too good to
be Republicans. who are agonizing
with their own lies about this law and
conspiring to destroy it by electing a
Democratic Supreme Court, or to spoil
and discredit it with idiotic amend
ments. Stick to the Dow law"
Precisely! Stick to it! You must
recollect that you are now speaking of
that portion of the law which prohib-
its the Internal traffic. In many in
stances where the people have at
tempted to stick to it. the loudest-
uouthed advocates of the law delib-
erately voted the Copperhead ticket in
order to defeat the law, then turned
about and howled that those who
stuck to the law and voted the Repub-
lican ticket were not Republicans! Go
off, and clean yourselves!

The Southern papers and writers
have taken up the subject Of the bat
tie Of Shiloh, and the whole field is
being fought over again, with the
usual changes of historical facts. The
real fact is, as much of the true his
tory of that engagement was known
within ten days after it occurred, as is
known now. Such matters are inter-
esting to write about, and to read
about. But nothing important has
been developed in all these long years
of controversy about that battle.
